It was a long day today. I am writing this in a hotel in East Windsor, CT. Grace, our granddaughter has a Lacrosse Tournament tomorrow, here in East Windsor — we couldn’t miss that. We had a quick breakfast this morning, I made eggs and toast, Carol had her fruit filled oatmeal. We both had fried toast..I know, I know, not the best for you.

Since we has such high dollar winnings at the casino yesterday and a long days drive ahead of us we, after having coffee we headed to the nearest Tim Hortons (Canada’s version of Dunkin Donuts) and ordered up some coffee and egg things.

As we were standing and having our coffee and looking off to the Atlantic from our high bluff this morning, an eagle soared just overhead. Back and forth he soared. We took this as a good sign as today is also. . .

The night turned very cold and when we woke up we were freezing. I turned on the little furnace and within minutes Stellas was a nice and warm and cozy. However the inevitable trip to the shower meant a walk in the cold. Little Stella was covered in frost…so it WAS cold. Interestingly when Carol went to the ladies washroom, the frenzied little man walked in on her. . .

So another earlyish start to the day. I made fried potatoes and omelets for breakfast, a quick shower and we were off down the road once again. Today we would be leaving . . .

We awoke to a sunny morning but it was a bit chilly. I made up some breakfast, flapjacks and Canadian bacon. Carol had purchased somewhere a flapjack mix. It seems to be wholewheat flour with rolled oats in it. I am going to figure out . . .

We awoke late to a rainy and windy morning. I made some coffee and Carol and I sat in the Vistabule and chatted while sipping our coffee. Rain was on again and off again. Our neighbor was in a tent and . . .

When I got up this morning the clouds had cleared and the sun was making it's way over the horizon painting the sky a beautiful pink and yellow. Carol was still snoozing so I began…

We got an early start this morning. We were both up well before our normal time. Carol was out of bed first and started in on . . .

Yesterday was Sunday so it was another hiking day for Carol and I.  We have been at this for a few years now and continue to discover new spots to hike. Yesterday we discovered a nice little three mile hike just. . .

Retirement provides us with the ability to just take off on the spur of the moment and have a mini adventure. This week we took an overnight at Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts. As it happened we got the. . .

A few days ago we went off to Ellis-Haven Campground in Plymouth Massachusetts with our grandchildren. This was the last summer getaway for them before school starts. We took Stella the Vistabule and . . .

Well it has been a long time coming, but I have finally updated my store. Yes, now you can easily purchase my scribbles and such right here online. Ah, the modern world..

Walt Whitman once said "I have learned that to be with those I like is enough." This sentiment sums up the few days we spent up in Maine with friends. Over the course of three days. . .

So there is this organization called Tear Jerkers, a group of like minded folks that love their tiny trailers as much as we do. We discovered this group a while back and this past week we. . .

Once again it has been a while since I have posted anything..just the lazy days of summer. Although we have been quite busy this summer there has been very few . . .

Every summer, at least once, we try to do a getaway with the grand kids. Grace and Ben are great travelers and we have always had a great tome no matter where we go. This year, the big city. Off to see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and maybe . . .
